ZIP code 43505

ZIP 43505 is a very small community in Williams County, Ohio, with 143 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1143 of 1,233 ranked by population — larger than 7% of them. The median age here is 33.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in ZIP 43505 earn a median of $72,273 a year, 8% below the national figure of $78,538. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 12.6% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 43505 is valued at $215,900, 28.8% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 71.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

With 143 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare ZIP 43505 against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for ZIP 43505 because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.

ZIP 43505 is tabulated inside Williams County, Ohio, one of 10 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 1,233 across Ohio. This is one of the smallest tabulated ZIP areas in the state, the kind of rural route where a single subdivision or farm cluster accounts for most addresses. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 43505 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 43505 reports a median household income of $72,273, 18% above the $61,424 county median, and 6% above the $68,141 typical OH ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $215,900, 58% above the county figure and 29% above the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at not published a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

Ohio charges 5.75% statewide, and local governments overlapping 43505 may add county, city or special-district levies on top. We publish the state floor for this ZIP rather than guessing a combined figure, because ZIP boundaries and taxing-district boundaries were drawn for different purposes and do not line up.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 43505 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
